Jay Townsend, the staffer for Rep. Nan Hayworth who suggested that people "throw some acid" at female Democratic senators, has resigned. Here's the statement from Hayworth:

Jay Townsend has offered, and I have accepted, his resignation from his position with my campaign. Now let’s return to talking about issues that really matter to families: job creation, spending restraint and economic development.

Townsend’s comments caused strong controversy over the weekend.

The statement really could have done without that second sentence. “Not throwing acid at women” is an issue that matters to my family.

I wonder if Hayworth resolves domestic disputes with the same “why are you making such a big deal of this” attitude. “Fine. So I might have blown our retirement funds on cocaine and prostitutes. Whatever. Now can we please get back to talking about what we’re eating for dinner?”
